Made
from grapes culled from the Geisberg and Osterberg grand crus, Trimbach's Riesling Cuvée Frédéric Emile is
believed by many wine lovers and experts all over the world to have only one
problem. That is, having the even more mythical Riesling Clos Ste.Hune under
the same family ownership, which fatally removes some of the spotlight from
Frédéric Emile, undoubtedly one of the world’s greatest dry Rieslings. At 12.9% alcohol, 8.2 g/l total acidity, 3.14 pH
and only 4 g/l residual sugar, the 2002 opens with a bright, gold-tinged straw-yellow
color followed by scents of ripe pear, lime, blood orange, Serrano pepper and
lemongrass. The 2002 is not an especially thick or big wine, yet it is precise and
poised, offering good texture and balance to the smooth stone fruit, almond and
mineral flavors, with sneaky
concentration and a long finish. The product of a difficult, wet vintage, the 2002 Frédéric Emile will never make anyone
forget the amazing 1990, but it’s a very successful wine in its own right. 91/Drinking window: 2015-2022.
